Happy

influential post-punk band the bush tetras finally release an album that's been lost in the archives for years. 'happy', which was originally recorded and mastered back in 1997, finally sees a release via roir. it was produced by gumball frontman don fleming, who's also done work with sonic youth, screaming trees and the posies, among others. 'happy' was first supposed to be released on mercury records, but the label was sold and the band's a&r was laid off, leaving the album shelved until now. after countless label mergers, roir - who put out bush tetras' 1983 'wild thing' cassette- - finally secured the rights to the album.
